AlClarence Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Hi, I was wondering if anyone would have any experience with the Olympus Micro 4/3 8mm fisheye lens seemingly losing contact during a dive? I still have light metering and aperture control but a blank screen so no ability to take photos... It's got me stumped as to what's going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ross Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 What camera?, I recall having an issue with my EM-5 MkII a while back. It had a component they replaced to fix it. I looked it up and it was a frame contact mount unit that was faulty. It is needed to tell the camera a lens is attached. It was back in 2017 so exact details are vague, but it sounds similar to what you report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlClarence Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 It's an Olympus e-m10 Mk4, the thing that is confounding me is that the problem is intermittent and doesn't effect any of my other lenses. After spending the afternoon troubleshooting as much as I can, I'm thinking sending it in for repairs may be my best course of action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i recall the repairs weren't too expensive at the time, but turnaround time is currently a while I believe. In my case it was the camera body which was the problem. They have a support number you can call and talk to them they can tell you if you need the lens as well as the body or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancoisC Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I had around two hundreds dives with Olympus 8mm on EM-1 mkII w/o any issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
